The Republican Dilemma: Abortion Stance vs. Election Success

Democrats are taking action to protect access to abortion after a federal judge in Texas threatened it. Meanwhile, Republicans have struggled to respond, lacking a unified policy on abortion since the Supreme Court's ruling in Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health. Some Republicans are urging moderation on abortion, warning that the uncompromising positions of their party's culturally conservative base risk alienating crucial swing voters. Democrats are already preparing to make abortion a central theme of the coming election cycles.
